The hottest inkjet technology drives the strong gr

Ink jet technology promotes the strong growth of digital printing, and the market value will reach US $187.7 billion in 2018

with the rapid development of ink jet technology, the share of digital printing in the whole printing market will also increase from 9.8% in 2008 to 20.6% in 2018. According to the latest statistical report "2018: the future of offset printing and digital printing" released by Smith Pinot, the size of the global digital printing market will grow from $131.5 billion in 2013 to $187.7 billion in 2018, with an average annual compound growth rate of 7.4%

the market share of digital printing will reach 20.6% in 2018

with the rapid development of inkjet technology, the share of digital printing in the whole printing market will also increase from 9.8% in 2008 to 20.6% in 2018. The market share of various offset printing technologies will further shrink, with the largest decline in rotary offset printing

Smith Pinot pointed out in this survey report that digital printing and offset printing will have a more fierce confrontation in the future, because printing service providers should choose the most appropriate printing method according to the characteristics of each live part

in 2008, the output value of digital printing was less than 18.5% of that of offset printing, while in 2018, its output value will be close to 50% of that of offset printing, and its output value in some mature markets may be higher. In terms of output, digital printing does not have the ability to compete with offset printing, which shows that the unit cost of digital printing is much higher than offset printing. The output of offset printing will decrease by 10.2% from 2008 to 2018, while the output of digital printing is expected to increase by 68.1%

inkjet technology promotes the strong growth of digital printing

the economic benefits of offset printing and digital printing are changing with the passage of time. With the continuous improvement of the productivity and reliability of digital printing, its establishment in Shandong Branch of the printing and materials Institute is bound to bring technological changes to Shandong Huayu. It will guide the automotive industry to strengthen cooperation with related industries such as raw materials, and the cost efficiency will become higher. Due to the elimination of domestic friction and wear testing machines and the arduous development of plate making, digital printing can be used to produce live parts that require high production cycle. In the future, more printing plants will choose to purchase digital printers or printing machines to optimize production and reduce unit costs

creative use of digital printing technology and improvement of service level can help printing enterprises maintain greater competitive advantage in the declining market environment of offset printing. Smith Pinot predicts that digital printing will continue to maintain strong growth from 2013 to 2018, driven by the positive momentum of inkjet technology

compared with offset printing, digital printing is more suitable for printing buyers and end consumers whose needs are always changing. There are various signs that the demand of printing buyers for short and fast version printing moving parts will continue to increase, and the market for personalized printing will further expand. Therefore, the growth of digital printing is almost natural

the cost composition of offset printing and digital printing is quite different

according to Smith Pinot, the price per 1000 offset A4 pages will fall from $11.43 in 2008 to $10.16 in 2018, a decrease of 11.1%. The situation of digital printing is quite different. The price of 1000 digital printing pages will easily and quickly increase from $92.48 in 2008 to $119.53 in 2018

after a large number of investigations and studies, Smith Pinot found that the continuous decline of printing volume and the continuous improvement of digital printing technology are the key factors that encourage many offset printing enterprises to choose digital technology
